i My. invention relates to an improvement i in celluloid collars,;and more particularly in celluloid collars having'separate ybutton-hole tabsof the same'celluloid material permanentlyaffixed tok the' collar band` by cement and supplemental fastening means. such for f example, as 'disclosed in Letters Patent No.

to A. FIL-Parsons.`

My present Objectis to p-rovlde an excep- 1,023,223 dated `April 16, 1912, and granted tionallyv secure and sightly-means of attach-gl ment for thebutton-hole tabs,rusingcompo- Lsition rivets Voi diminutive proportions to 'fasten the Celluloid tab to the celluloid collar band. The composition isor may be the same y in color as the Collar itself' and it 'providesa rivet which may be very small inzdiameterv, Wherebyan inconspicuous and neat union is effected. The strength of the union is sur.- prising since the composition rivets are so small, vandtheV material thereof being subs stantially the same in lcolor as the collar stock therivets presenta very `pleasing aplpearancef Which is highly desirable lnthis class of Wearing apparel. No metal beingV .usedfin uniting the tabs tothe collar'band Y no corrosion or objectionable change'in .ap-

' pearanceoccurs nor Will Van-objectionable coating form von the rivets vVhen..the-collars are carried kinfstock in ymoist climates or when Worn andrepeatedly exposed tto the moisture and impurities exuding fromv the skin.' 7

proximately at theV same point "as the outer ply or `fold 3.. fixedV to opposite endsof v band 2are separate button-hole tabs4`which provide free flexingextensions for-the band,` and these tabsA are permanentlyafiixed tothe `band byk cementand apluralityo rivets 5 made of a'composition such as Celluloid. The Y cemented union preferably involves only the i extreme inner endwporti'on in the tabin regis. ter with similar openings 8 ofy the' 'same dit ameter'in the endpartof the band. Open- 'ingsS are retired morevor less remotelyfrO-m the verticall end edge k9.0i theband, and the rivets 5,' which are solid and kof smaller diameter,A are inserted in the registering` openings and upset at their Opposite ends to cause the shank of the rivet to fit tightly .H i vvithin theopening'a'nd yto clamp the tab 'i' 65 tightly to the band. When the tab is securedy in itsjproperaposition upon the band by means fof thecementand the lComposition rivets the upper straight edge l0 "of the tab is` contiguous to or in Contact with the foldedf corner 11l ofthe collar. Button-hole 12 in the tab is yplaced relatively near the end edge 9.of the band andtherefore the cemented and*y riveted@union'isgremotelyrelated to the end y 'edgei'9 Which' 'permits jthe 'tab toflex` apart from theV band opposite edge '9 `rintermediate buttonihole'lQ .andthe rivets` 5., The collar Y bod-y and separate tabs andthe. rivets may f all bejmade of the same Celluloid composi'- tion of matten or of" substantially f similar' substances, thereby providing a Water prooiv v Y collar in Which the riveted'connection isof j Vthe same Color and-"hasthe same ,cleansing .and 'Water proof characteristics and proper'- ties:sthe remaindery of the Collar. n

What I claimfs; v s

ing' a band which is yperforated at differenty elevations at its :oppositeends, separate-but-*- "tonholetabs, perforated to correspond with Y2 n l 1,788,802

th'e perforated endsvof the band, said tabs ,being cemented Vat their perforated areas to "said collar Vin such a position that the'upper edge of eachl tab contacts with the corre- Y 5i spondingfolded edges of thejcollar, and a plural numberv of solid Celluloid rivets insertedthrough said aligned perforations of g said band and said tabs,` the intermediate f' portion of each tab between its buttonhole and the rivets being freeto flex apart .from

saidband'.V In testimony whereof I alix my signature.
